Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Finally had the chance to get out onto a field and work the left side of the window, so I decided to get back to basics and chose to give my old custom E2 some exercise. Now, this particular kite hasn't been flown but once since we got to Texas so it was nice to see how much it's learned; Rolling Susans and backspins seemed to be what felt good today. Spent a fair amount of time with fades, too. Didn't take too long to remember that the E2 has that oscillating fade, so knocking off some nice rising fades was pretty satisfying.

Things were going real good until I stepped on the field's one fire ant hill. OUCH!

Hola TeeCee...

Fire ants are also a "joy" in the DFW area too. If you have never had the pleasure of running over a large hill while mowing the lawn and having hundreds of the critters flung onto your legs (and pissed off, to boot)..... Trust me.... once is one time too many.

TI've been visiting quite a few of my old kites too. I had 2 E2's, but sold them a long time ago. Dave Shenkman had some on sale 7 or 8 months ago so I bought another. Seems the later batches were smarter and trickier.

Well, that depends. ;-) Let's take that Zephyr for instance; are you doing backspins, rollups, Jacob's Ladders, and any number of tricks with it? That kite looks fairly French after all. and most importantly, are you having FUN? :-) As long as you're having fun with what you've got on hand, you're in good shape.
